Consulate Prize

We picked up our VISAS today in Manhattan.  It was a much easier process than I had imagined.  We went to the Korean consulate twice, once to apply for our visa and once to pick it up.  Both times, the people were smiling and the lines were short.  I hope that all of our future encounters with Korean public servants go as smooth.  When we got back to our sister's place in Chelsea we bought tickets for our flight.  We leave the morning February 13th and arrive in Seoul on the 14th at 7:30 p.m. for some Valentines BiBimBap! 

Life After Empire

The journey begins...

Today is Jill's last day of work (mine was yesterday).  Tomorrow we are flying to Manhattan to stay with her sister for a week and then we will have approximately 10 days when we return to pack and sell of a few final things before we take off to the "Land of Tae Kwon Do".  It has been a while since I have made any appearances in the blogosphere, but this transition in life seems like an appropriate one to reinitiate this discipline.  I will be wanting to communicate everything that is happening in my life as well as try to keep in touch as best I can with all of you.  See you in a year :)
